26 July 2024
18:00 Ricky Walden v Liam Davies

Liam Davies

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.75

Open

0

I think Davies is a tempting play at this price. This shouldn't be as straight-forward as some of the opening matches here as Walden didn't quite live up to expectations last season.
17:30 5:30 York

Craven

Daily Racing

25 EWNAPNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deduction

@21.00

Win

600

CRAVEN is considered back in a race of similar quality to the one the run before last when it outran its odds to place two pounds higher in the weight. Didn't have the best of draws over the same trip last time out so is excused for that. Gets same jockey as that run back in the saddle to in Billy Garritty. Could get involved.

One More Dream

ONE MORE DREAM is at a workable mark and was backed into favouritism last time out, so has claims if matching that level of performance. Up in grade but potentially able to handle it.
16:45 4:45 Ascot

Lil Guff

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@6.00

Lose

-50

LIL GUFF appears to have hit a sweet spot at the moment and is taken to quickly double up on yesterday's win at Sandown. Narrowly missed out here the run before last and could if the stable give the once over in the morning and declare her fit I'm happy to have my money down.
16:10 4:10 Ascot

@9.00

Win

25

MILLER SPIRIT has been in pretty good shape since June and it was a bit of a strange run last time out. Still managed to overcome a poor start to place from a pound higher in the weights. Difficult to rule out and looks overpriced for this.
16:00 Yoshihito Nishioka vs Frances Tiafoe

Yoshihito Nishioka

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.80

Win

90

There's very little to separate these two statistically on the hard court so even though Tiafoe is the higher ranked player I think NIshioka has a fair chance of the upset.
15:55 3:55 Uttoxeter

Baikal

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Win

85

An all or nothing sort who pops in seemingly at random from nowhere, BAIKAL is considered just in case we catch one of those days at this price. Now three pounds below last winning mark and with same jockey on board. Given an each-way chance if back in the mood. Emphasise the IF though!
14:35 2:35 Thirsk

Griselda

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@2.62

Win

81

Unless there's rapid improvement form the early handicappers, GRISELDA looks well set to land the hat-trick here. Won cosily last time out and could have plenty more to offer. Not sure the handicapper has caught up just yet.
13:30 Joe O Connor v Duane Jones

Duane Jones

Win Match

50 WIN

@4.00

Lose

-50

This could be a closer contest than these odds suggest. I think Jones looks a worthy play in a match that looks difficult to call. Statistically they look pretty evenly matched.
13:30 Wu Yize v Stuart Carrington

Stuart Carrington

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.62

Void

0

Carrington has a definite chance at this price as I think he's edged it in terms of recent form and I had this one down as much closer to a coin toss.
11:30 Alycia Parks vs Leonie Kung

Leonie Kung

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.25

Lose

-50

Kung's been to good to us this week and she could go one better if she keeps up the performance levels.Parks no better than anyone she's already beaten this week.
09:00 Anthony Hamilton v Gong Chenzhi

Gong Chenzhi

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.00

Win

100

I think Chenzhi is a tempting play at the price, he's got a decent opportunity of clinching this as Hamilton has struggled to create too much of an impact in recent seasons, particularly last season when I felt his performance dropped off a bit.
00:00 Ben Shelton vs Juncheng Shang

Juncheng Shang

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.38

Win

69

Shang has the head-to-head with two wins on the hard court last season so I think he's the tempting play at this price and he is also performing marginally better on the surface this campaign too.

Dundory

Daily Racing

25 EWNOTENon runners at 10.0 or more so no R4 deductionBest Odds Guaranteed SP 34.00 used instead of 29.00 takenBOG

@34.00

Win

140

DUNDORY wasn't given enough time to make an impact on the transition back to the flat from an unsuccessful hurdling stint last time out. Probably would've picked off a couple more had it been a mile and a half trip, so will be more suited to this and is now ofur pounds lighter in the weights. Lets take a look and see if any further progress can be made.
20:30 8:30 Yarmouth

Qitaal

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Win

55

QITAAL has taken a couple of steps in the right direction the last twice, when beaten by around a length the last twice from around this mark. Has been competitive in this grade this season so is considered each-way at this price as can potentially get close if continuing to trend in the right direction.
20:00 Dusan Lajovic vs Lorenzo Musetti

Dusan Lajovic

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

I think this potentially looks much more closer than the odds suggest. It was a three setter in their only previous clay meeting and this match has trading opportunities I think. In the outright market Lahovic is the one to be with
18:00 6:00 Yarmouth

Treacherous

Daily Racing

25 EW

@23.00

Lose

-50

I'm still a bit dubious of these Racing League affairs as the the prize money is much bigger and they are better races than previous runs in the same class than we've judged them on in the past if you are with me. Ideally I like to see a competitive run in a higher grade and there is some relatively recent form for TREACHEROUS than we can hang our hat on here. Maybe ten in age, but is still running well and could still deliver at a tasty price.
18:00 Jackson Page v Dylan Emery

Dylan Emery

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.20

Win

110

I think Emery has a chance here, the two aren't that much different statistically and this could be much closer than the prices suggest
18:00 Matthew Stevens v Andrew Higginson

Andrew Higginson

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.62

Lose

-50

I think Stevens is generally on the decline and Higginson is a tempting play in what looks to be a coin toss contest. Let's hope we've called right
17:00 Jakub Mensik vs Chun Hsin Tseng

Chun Hsin Tseng

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.90

Lose

-50

He may be a lucky loser but my how Tseng destroyed Fognini in the last 16 and took advantage of the situation. Mensik hasn't played many clay court tournaments this season and Tseng looks value for me because of that
15:00 Elina Avanesyan vs Jaqueline Cristian

Jaqueline Cristian

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

Cristian owns the H2H with the win in Rome this season, so I think I'd have these odds flipped round. Cristian looks a fair shout for the win at a better than double your money.
14:50 2:50 Worcester

Morning Spirit

Daily Racing

25 EW

@29.00

Lose

-50

Regular followers will know an unpredictable horse at a big price will always be a tempter for me. These can go badly wrong and look a bit silly but MORNING SPIRIT was narrowly beaten from a pound higher in the handicap at Southwell two runs back, so there is a run in the locker somewhere. Runs around that showing have been poor, but there's still claims if we catch him in the mood.

@41.00

0

DUBAI STATION wasn't far away on return to this stable at Yarmouth in April and is now a pound lighter than that showing. Disappointing the last twice, considered if back in the mood and will have a good pace to aim for.
14:00 2:00 Doncaster

Blazing Son

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@23.00

Lose

-50

BLAZING SON is forgiven for the last run at Carlisle which was up in trip and grade. Won the race before in this sort of company at the same venue. Bettered Vince le Prince (a recent winner for us) and John Kirkup (placed twice) so the 3lb rise could be overcome back at a favourable distance.
13:30 Jordan Brown v Liam Pullen

Liam Pullen

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

This is closer to call than the price structure I think - Pullen performed just as well on the tour last season and could run Brown clspe
13:30 Ryan Day v Cheung Ka Wai

Cheung Ka Wai

Win Match

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Ka Wai performed amicable towards the end of last season and looks worth a punt against Day, who can struggle for consistency now and again
11:30 Linda Noskova vs Magda Linette

Magda Linette

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

Linette is a value looking play for me here. There's not too much between these two on clay so I'll chance her for the win at this price
24 July 2024
19:40 7:40 Salisbury

Attys Edge

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@26.00

Lose

-50

ATTY'S EDGE has fallen a long way in the weights, and just in case this 8yo is taking a bit of time to warm up after the lay-off he is considered at this big a price. Gina Mangan got him close at the back of last season and returns to the saddle here. Handily drawn and should have a good pace to aim at if the gap is there.
18:45 6:45 Leicester

Chicago Gal

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@3.75

Lose

-50

CHICAGO GAL won keeping on over ten furlongs last time out and she's clearly come into form. Could well defy the weight rise over the extended trip and looks the one to beat.
17:10 5:10 Catterick

Grand Style

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@34.00

Lose

-50

GRAND STYLE showed a bit of spark the run before last at Carlisle, when last tried over this distance. The run over the mile last time out didn't suit, but there are each-way claims if she matches that Carlisle showing. Draw and going all suit so could overcome these odds.
15:30 Francisco Cerundolo vs Matej Dodig

Matej Dodig

Win Match

50 WIN

@5.00

Lose

-50

Home player Dodig has been very good at lower levels this season and has earned a crack at this level. He'd have built some momentum from his first round win, so is a value looking play at the price.
15:00 Marco Trungelliti vs Lorenzo Musetti

Marco Trungelliti

Win Match

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

Trungelliti a value play at the price against Musetti, who has struggled to get some momentum all season  on the clay really, and his marathon run on grass at Wimbledon could catch up with him.
13:30 Linda Noskova vs Ella Seidel

Ella Seidel

Win Match

50 WIN

@4.50

Lose

-50

I still don't think Noskova should be this heavily favoured in the contest and maybe Seidel is a backable play at this price to take out the number one seed.
13:00 Leonie Kung vs Mai Hontama

Leonie Kung

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

Hontama has not been in the best of shape this season, and the summer hasn't really done much to inspire either, so Kung looks a decent play to cause the upset here.
12:00 Chloe Paquet vs Selena Janicijevic

Selena Janicijevic

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

I had this one down as both players being around the same price, as it looks a match that is difficult to call. Janicijevic therefore perhaps poses some valut at this price. 
12:00 Oksana Selekhmeteva vs Laura Samson

Laura Samson

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.50

Win

125

We cashed in on Samson with the shock over Siniakova yesterday, so I think she's earned our loyalty to back her again. If she's good enough to win that one, then she can land another here.
11:30 Linda Klimovicova vs Alycia Parks

Linda Klimovicova

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Klimovicova has won an awful lot of matches on clay whereas Parks has struggled so, despite the rankings gap, I think she's worth a bet.
11:30 Pedro Martinez vs Sumit Nagal

Sumit Nagal

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

Nagal's been playing better than his ranking suggests this season and I think he's a tempting looking play here. Martinez also in form and the winner of this oculd have a good run. I'd still make Nagal a value play though.
10:00 Flavio Cobolli vs Dusan Lajovic

Dusan Lajovic

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.62

Win

81

Poor run on grass for Lajovic but it's a different story on clay and these two should be much closer in price on this surface. Very little to split them in the rankings, and statistically it's evenly matched too
02:40 HOU Astros @ OAK Athletics

OAK Athletics

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.15

Win

57

With a shut out of the Astros last night, I think the A's are backable to string together another win here. They've got a real chance of taking advantage of their stuttering opponent again.
02:40 LA Angels @ SEA Mariners

LA Angels

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.45

Win

73

Angels are backed at this price, particularly as they edged the contest late on last night. They may be the road team but shouldn't be this much of a second favourite.
01:40 BOS Red Sox @ COL Rockies

COL Rockies

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

Rockies edged this one in the extra innings last night, and seem to be the best bet at this price. The Red Sox have lost four on the spin now and probably shouldn't be this heavily favoured. 
00:40 PHI Phillies @ MIN Twins

MIN Twins

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.25

Lose

-50

The Twins are a tempting play as the home side here and with the Phillies not in the best of shape at the moment I think I'd make them much closer to evens for the win.
00:20 CIN Reds @ ATL Braves

CIN Reds

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.80

0

Braves are stuttering a bit and misfired in this contest last night, so I think the Reds look a value play to win match 2 in this series.
00:15 Christopher OConnell vs Max Purcell

Christopher OConnell

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.30

Lose

-50

O'Connell won the H2H at the last US Open and even though Purcell's season picked up in some of the grass tournaments, I still think O'Connell is a tempting price here.
00:07 TB Rays @ TOR Blue Jays

TB Rays

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

60

WE'll take the Rays here, they've won more matches over the last ten game stretch and have the edge overall. I think they'll take this series.
00:05 NY Mets @ NY Yankees

NY Mets

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.40

Win

70

Mets arrive in good form here and beat the Yankees twice before the all-star break so I'll give them a look at this price. They look a bit steep for the win, even as the road team.
23 July 2024
23:40 BAL Orioles @ MIA Marlins

MIA Marlins

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.40

Win

70

I'm not sure the Orioles are in good enough form to sweep this series on the road, so it might be worth backing Miami to see if they can nick a game at this price.
23:40 DET Tigers @ CLE Guardians

DET Tigers

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.20

Lose

-50

Very comfortable win for the Tigers last night and with recent series wins over the Blue Jays and Dodgers, they are backable at this price as one of the in-form teams in the MLB at the moment. The opposite is true for the Guardians, who appear to be in a bit of a rut.
18:10 6:10 Wolverhampton

Bay Of Naples

Daily Racing

50 WIN

@17.00

Lose

-50

BAY OF NAPLES is considered back at this CD, after he placed here in January from 7lbs heavier in the handicap. Stable is in good form and performing above market expectations of late. Is the sort to potentially bounce back.

Sexy Rexy

Daily Racing

25 EW

@41.00

Lose

-50

f you draw a line through SEXY REXY's last two runs (on turf and the slower polytrack) then she is considered at this big a price. She returns to two pounds lower than when placing here last October and could get involved if back in the mood. Bit of a risk going with two in a race of this type but lets hope one hits the top four.
17:25 5:25 Musselburgh

Monhammer

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

Plenty to like about MONHAMMER's form this season and he's a pound lighter than when placing at Ayr in June and is just a pound above the last winning mark. Seems to have been written off a bit too readily, with course form in the back catalogue too.
16:30 4:30 Lingfield

Swiss Pride

Daily Racing

25 EW

@21.00

Lose

-50

With eight course wins over his career, and the most recent coming in April from just a pound lower in the handicap, SWISS PRIDE, is dangerous to write off here. The short price Red Treasure is yet to really fire on this surface and Hakuna Babe still has questions to answer, so maybe this looks value for a horse with such a great record here.
15:45 3:45 Musselburgh

Vadamiah

Daily Racing

25 EWNAP

@17.00

Lose

-50

VADAMIAH will likely be one of the front runners here and is eased in grade to five pounds below her last run in a class five, which was a narrow defeat at Ripon. COuld be difficult to catch if she shrugs off the uncharastic start last time out and I can make a stronger case for this than some at shorter prices.
15:15 3:15 Musselburgh

Peripeteia

Daily Racing

50 WINNOTEDead heat Winner so return divided by 2DH

@3.25

Win

31

PERIPETEIA has performed in snatches this season but shown enough in handicaps to suggest that there's a win in an event of this nature. Nothing to worry about in terms of trip and conditions and should go close.
15:00 Elena Gabriela Ruse vs Jaqueline Cristian

Elena Gabriela Ruse

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.10

Lose

-50

3rd seed Cristian could come unstuck here as Ruse has improved on the clay and also looks to be the most likely to win from a statistical standpoint.
14:00 2:00 Lingfield

Bint Havana Gold

Daily Racing

25 EWNB

@19.00

Win

64

There is every chance the hot looking odds on handicap debutant wins this, but you see these types turned over all the time in class fives. so a chance is taken on BINT HAVANA GOLD, who will be suited by the return to this surface and distance, and is a pound lighter than narrowly missing out at Kempton in May. This is a higher grade but she can still compete at this level.
14:00 Leonie Kung vs Weronika Ewald

Weronika Ewald

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.00

Lose

-50

Ewald's been racking up the hard court wins this season, so she definitely has the potential to pick up the win. Kung isn't quite matching up statistically so is taken on.
13:30 Linda Noskova vs Eva Lys

Eva Lys

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.20

Void

0

Noskova isn't at her best at the moment on the clay so Lys could take advantage at this price.There's one or two underdogs in the draw here, who are capable of causing a shock or two and this is certainly one of those.
13:00 Ena Shibahara vs Ella Seidel

Ena Shibahara

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.20

Lose

-50

Shibahara could take advantage of Seidel struggling a bit for form on the clay this season. Shibahara has the potential, if playing to the best of her ability.
12:00 Laura Samson vs Katerina Siniakova

Laura Samson

Win Match

50 WIN

@6.00

Win

250

Samson has been flying at a lower level this season and Siniakova is traditionally a better hard courter so let's see if we get a massive upset here.
11:30 Jana Fett vs Viktoriya Tomova

Jana Fett

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.10

Lose

-50

Fett has been very good on clay this season, so if she's plays to the best of her ability she can really push Tomova all the way. This could be a shock for sure.
11:30 Martyna Kubka vs Zarina Diyas

Martyna Kubka

Win Match

50 WIN

@3.10

Lose

-50

Looks a bit of a big gap in the price here. Kubka in useful form and could well take advantage. She's definitely a value play for sure.
11:30 Nina Stojanovic vs Viktoria Hruncakova

Viktoria Hruncakova

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.05

Lose

-50

Stoajnovic ahs returned to good effect on the clay but hasn't played on the hard court in a long time so she might not be quite as effective.
11:30 Sebastian Ofner vs Lukas Neumayer

Lukas Neumayer

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.75

Win

88

I'll chance the home player here as Ofner has struggled a touch this season and could well have to up his game to get past this tough looking contest. Neumayer in solid form at a lower level and could step up.
10:30 Elina Avanesyan vs Petra Martic

Petra Martic

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.38

Lose

-50

This looks a coin toss to be there's very little to separate the two on clay and I had this down as 1.91-1.91 or 1.85-2.00 kind of contest so there's value in Martic here for me.
10:30 Magdalena Frech vs Dominika Salkova

Dominika Salkova

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.25

Void

0

Salkova looks to have the slight edge over the stats on clay so looks to hold the value at this price. She could upset the seeded Frech if she plays to that standard.
10:00 Gina Feistel vs Raluka Serban

Gina Feistel

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.20

Win

60

Serban has just the one clay court victory to her name this season so until she bucks up the ideas I'll take her on. Feistel has the potential to land this one.
10:00 Hugo Gaston vs Daniel Altmaier

Hugo Gaston

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.30

Win

65

I think Gaston is a worthy looking play at this price. Altmaier may be the higher ranked player but the Frenchman has the better clay performance this year and I made him marginal favourite when I priced it up.
09:00 Selena Janicijevic vs Miriam Bulgaru

Selena Janicijevic

Win Match

50 WIN

@2.00

Win

50

Janicijevic was my clear favourite when I priced this one up, she has much better clay form over the course of the year and statistically looks the better too.
02:40 LA Angels @ SEA Mariners

LA Angels

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.50

Win

75

MAriners are in a bit of a slump at the moment and the Angels look a fare shout at this price, even as the road team. They could well cause the mini upset here.
01:40 BOS Red Sox @ COL Rockies

COL Rockies

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.45

Win

73

Three defeats in a row for the Red Sox and they couldbe vulnerable as the road team until their fortunes start to pick up some more. Rockies could well land this and there isn't this much of a gap between the two teams.
01:05 MIL Brewers @ CHI Cubs

CHI Cubs

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.10

Win

55

I think the Cubs are worth a look with home advantage in this keenly contested divisional battle. They have the home advantage and should probably be the marginal fav because of this.
00:20 CIN Reds @ ATL Braves

CIN Reds

Money Line

50 WIN

@2.30

Win

65

Both of these are 5-5 over the last 10 game stretch and I think this a pretty difficult one to call. Braves should be marginal favs but definitely aren't in as a good a form as this price suggests, even at home.
